A mobile laser-induced fluorescence set-up was built with the aim to measure oil consumption of combustion engines. Two prototypes based on an innovative laser system have been mounted, tested and improved. Several calibration procedures proved the good functionality of the final prototype and its ability for commercialization. In addition, a laser desorption source was set-up in a linear time of flight mass spectrometer to carry out studies of soot formation. Decacyclene as a hydrocarbon model system was desorbed and fragmentation and cluster formation were studied.
